7.9 Data visualization Line charts: Inline labels Labels for line charts can also be placed adjacent to the relevant data sets. Be considerate when taking this approach as too many labels or charts with dense data can quickly feel cluttered, or worse, become illegible for a reader. As a general rule try to only include a maxium of 3 data sets when using inline labels. Alignment for the labels can either be above or below the data set . Use your best judgement based on where available space for the text may be. When showing a singular data set labels should be right-aligned to the edge of the chart .
